1. if you are worried about these type of attacks than charger is least of your worries... You should probably turn off thunderbolt support completely...

2. I think mag safe chargers will be allowed to continue. Note that even now you can charge the macbooks with magsafe with usb-c charger..

How exactly is the charger the least of the worries if it is the one thing that you are forced to use?

I'm sure these will be available in iPhone design soon:

A charger has one job, namely to charge. Stop this "thin hardware design" mania and design a proper plug.
